The country's aspirations for low-carbon development in the new capital city represent a bold step towards national progress. This decision stems from the consideration of Jakarta's current status as the capital, which is perceived to be incapable of bearing the dual burden as the center of government and economy. This situation has led to numerous potential risks that could undermine the security and sustainability of the nation. By relocating to Paser, East Kalimantan, the spirit of national sustainability is brought to a new place with controllable potentials and risks, serving as a model for other developing cities in Indonesia. As the public is aware, the development of the new capital city is a large- scale endeavor for a country like Indonesia. However, this development is overshadowed by the environmental degradation that is worsening day by day, as evident from Indonesia's ranking as one of the world's highest carbon emitters. To fulfill the commitment of becoming an advanced city, the new area must have good accessibility and appropriate development. Therefore, the vision of low-carbon development will be realized through a nearly zero-energy approach, aiming to minimize energy consumption in buildings to the greatest extent possible, thereby significantly reducing off-site carbon emissions. In this context, the challenge lies in how the nearly zero-energy method can collaborate with the construction of high-speed train stations, serving as the primary public transportation mode between cities. By implementing low-energy and low-carbon designs in buildings, it is hoped that the outcomes and designs resulting from this approach will serve as guidelines for similar developments, particularly in the new capital city area. This showcases the nation's commitment to improving environmental conditions and advancing the country's progress.
